Forebearance:
The lender stops or postpones legal action. Usually granted when homeowner
makes satisfactory arrangements to bring the overdue mortgage payments current.
Loan Modification:
A loan modification seeks to avoid foreclosure by negotiating with the lender
to modify the terms of the loan. Loan modifications may include adjusting the
interest rate, extending the loan period or adding the delinquent portion and
fees back onto the principal of the loan to be repaid over time.
Mortgage Refinancing:
In most cases, once foreclosure has started, homeowner has been through
several months of late payments or no payments. These late payments have a
devastating effect on homeowners credit rating. In addition, the new mortgage
company will easily find out about the current foreclosure action. This most
often leads to a denial of the refinance loan application. If homeowner is
approved homeowner can bet it will be at a very high interest rate with higher
than normal closing costs.
Sale Of The Property:
If a homeowner has been unable to work with a lender, or find another
suitable solution in a timely manner, it is time to seriously consider selling.
When time is of the essence homeowner should consider selling your property to
an investor who offers "a quick closing". Typically, this will be for less than
fair market value, but can be a benefit to homeowner because it is a quick "as
is" sale with no real estate commissions. "As is" means homeowner would not have
to spend any money doing repairs, or spend time putting the house in perfect
shape. By selling the house "As is" to an investor, homeowner gets a quick sale
- allowing homeowner to instantly stop the foreclosure and salvage your credit.
Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure:
This service is when homeowner voluntary deed title to homeowner property to
the lender. A homeowner basically gives the house back to the bank. The ordinary
effect of the taking of a Deed in Lieu is to extinguish the lenders deed of
trust and vest the lender with the title subject to all other existing liens and
encumbrances. In effect, the lender becomes the new owner. The lender is not
required to accept the Deed in Lieu and can show his/her refusal by filing a
Notice of Non Acceptance with the County Recorder.
Bankruptcy:
Bankruptcy is not the best option but does delay the process and place
everything on hold for a while. Bankruptcy should only be an option if homeowner
needs to buy time so homeowner can raise the cash to payoff the entire debt.
